I was playing around with my video settings and I noticed that going from Medium to Low actually made my FPS worse in training ground. Or at the very least Low is no different than Very High.

I'm not sure if the settings are just mislabeled or if something else is going on.

I'm on Windows 7 with a Core i5-2500k CPU

I have a AMD HD 6970 GPU

I was doing this in Full Screen Mode with Vsync off.

I've seen this happen to other people in the past. adjust each slider one at a time until you get the best performance. or you can try one of the user.cfg files from this post. if you go this rout start with the 5_ultra_high cfg and see how your preformance is.

Can you send a ticket to support describing your issue, along with your dxdiag. Get a video of the issue if you can. We'll investigate this right away. Thank for the feedback

Same issue here.

Started a new game. Apparently all my settings had been changed to "medium/high" (default?).

I ran at around 15fps and changed everything to low - my fps dropped to 7-8.

Undoubtedly the issue lies with my Intel Graphics 3000, but I usually run at 30+ FPS.

Try to play a few matches with that graphic setting, and see if that fixes the issue. Let me know if that works.

From remembering stuff from the UI 2.0 test, the graphics controls doesn't seem to adhere to the what you set it to, so they may not be working as they should.

I saw "greater/better graphics" despite setting stuff to low/medium.

Have you enabled any custom graphics settings or are you using only the preset? My problem and yours may be related.

the issues seems to be with custom..creating a video as we speak to send to support

The settings are all buggered. Not sure if they just locked things down (I know they locked down some, but shouldn't be any we can toggle), or if they just messed up the UI settings big time. Hopefully we get a fix in a couple hours, as that's all it should take to fix.

same problem

[Candun]

same problem here get around 7fps

[VagGR]

here is a short video of the issue. thats just what i've found so far im sure there are more

1)notice the textures as i swap between low and high
2)notice that while post processing is set to low ingame it does not apply. you can see the lightshafts the depth of field blur ect
3)notice that effects are set to high but in game missiles have no trails and PPCs have no extra effects around the "lightning"

Custom graphics settings are not working. It defaults to the medium preset as soon as you make changes in the "Advanced Options" and save. It will show "Custom" correctly in the options though.

[Darius Deadeye]

I've been adjusting sliders left right and center. There's no rhyme or reason to the differences between low and middle.

Some settings reduce FPS when I lower the slider from medium to low, ie Shadows and Shading.

Some settings increase FPS when I increase the slider from low to medium, ie. Environment.

With the settings: low, low, low, low, medium, medium, medium, medium, off (in that order), I seem to have maximized fps.

... at 15 fps.

I know my graphics card is horrendous (intel graphics 3000), but I've never had issues (to this extent) before.

While you're waiting for the (Hot)Fix on this, you might as well try these custom settings:

They give me approximately the framerates I had before the patch today.
